Jacksonville, Florida, police say it is not against the law to project an antisemitic message onto a public building, in full view of the public. The technique is called projection bombing and can get controversial messages in front of millions of people for low cost and little legal risk. I will point you toward a website published by an experienced high-profile projection bomber who explains how he does his work on a budget.
The Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates again today, and that will ripple through the economy. A 0.75% increase would push the Fed rate to its highest level since 2008 as the Board of Governors tries to bring down inflation by decreasing consumer demand. While the Fed rate is not directly linked to mortgage rates, they move in the same direction, and mortgage rates stand at a 16-year-high. Car loan rates are the highest they have been in a decade.
Gasoline and food prices are both rising. At the same time, oil companies, restaurants, hotels and airlines are raising prices beyond the level of inflation. Consumer groups say businesses are using inflation as an excuse to pad profits.
